1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------


Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
include all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of results for the period reported.  All dollar amounts
are presented in thousands, except per share data.

Foreign Currency Translation
- ----------------------------

Effective January 1, 1997, the functional currency of the United Kingdom
subsidiary, Monmouth Pharmaceutical, Ltd., was changed from the U.S. Dollar to
the British Pound as a result of change in circumstance. Monmouths' translation
gains and losses will now be accumulated as a separate component of
Shareholders' Equity.

New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------

In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share."  SFAS 128
specifies a new standard designed to improve the earnings per share ("EPS")
information provided in financial statements by simplifying the existing
computational guidelines, revising the disclosure requirements, and increasing
the comparability of EPS data on an international basis.  Some of the changes
made to simplify the EPS computations include: (a) eliminating the presentation
of primary EPS and replacing it with basic EPS, with the principal difference
being that common stock equivalents are not considered in computing basic EPS,
(b) eliminating the modified treasury stock method and the three percent
materiality provision, and (c) revising the contingent share provisions and the
supplemental EPS data requirements.  SFAS 128 also makes a number of changes to
existing disclosure requirements.  SFAS 128 is effective for financial
statements issued  for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim
periods.  The Company has not yet determined the impact of the implementation of
SFAS 128 and therefore this calculation has not been reflected in these
financial statements.

2.   Inventory
     ---------

Inventory at June 30, 1997 consists of:
 
          Raw Materials     $ 2,936
          Finished Goods     14,959
                            -------
 
          Total             $17,895

 3.  Change in Accounting Estimate
     -----------------------------

In second quarter 1997, management made several changes in accounting estimates.
The aggregate amount of these changes is $1.3 million.

4.   Contingency
     -----------

A shareholder class action suit was instituted March 24, 1995, in the United
States District Court for the District of New Jersey against Roberts
Pharmaceutical Corporation and certain of its officers and a former officer for
alleged violations of certain federal securities laws.  The Company is not able
to predict the outcome of this proceeding at this time, and management is not
able to determine the amount of the potential liability, if any.  Roberts
Pharmaceutical believes that it has complied with all of its obligations under
the federal securities laws.  Roberts Pharmaceutical is defending vigorously
against the plaintiff's allegations and considers such allegations to be without
merit.

5.   Subsequent Event
     ----------------

The Company completed the purchase of a pharmaceutical manufacturing and
packaging facility from Searle Canada, a unit of Monsanto Company, on July 7,
1997.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and
          Results of Operations

Results of Operations
Six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

Corporate Revenues
- ------------------

Total revenue for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased $12.6
million and $3.5 million respectively as compared with the first six months of
1996.  This increase was due to an increase in revenues from product sales.

Product Sales
- -------------

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, product sales increased $12.6 million
from $44.0 million to $56.6 million primarily as a result of the launch of
AGRYLIN and an increase in sales by the United Kingdom subsidiary.

U.S. product sales increased $8.4 million from $33.0 million to $41.4 million.
AGRYLIN and PROAMATINE provided $5.1 and $1.8 million, respectively, of this
increase, and COLACE, SALUTENSIN, and PERI-COLACE also posted significant
increases of $1.5 million, $0.8 million, and $0.8 million, respectively.  These
increases were offset by a decrease in NOROXIN sales of $0.6 million and by the
divestiture of the non-core product lines which occurred in third quarter 1996.
Sales of the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary, Monmouth Pharmaceuticals,
Ltd., increased $3.7 million from $5.2 million to $8.9 million.  $2.7 million of
this increase is due to sales of LODINE which was launched in fourth quarter
1996 and $0.5 million is due to an increase in the sales of EMINASE.  Sales of
the Company's Canadian subsidiary increased slightly by $0.5 million from $5.8
million to $6.3 million.

Product sales in the second quarter increased $3.5 million from $26.8 million in
1996 to $30.3 million in 1997.  Second quarter product sales in the U.S.
increased $2.0 million from $21.5 million in 1996 to $23.5 million in 1997.
Sales in the U.K. increased $1.2 million to $3.6 million in second quarter 1997
from $2.4 million in 1996.  Canada's second quarter sales increased to $3.1
million in 1997, a $0.3 million increase from 1996 second quarter sales of $2.8
million.

Cost of Sales
- -------------

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, cost of sales amounted to 43.5% of
product sales, a 7.4 percentage point decrease as compared to the prior year's
comparable period.  This decrease in cost of sales and corresponding increase in
gross profit percentage is primarily the result of the addition of AGRYLIN to
the product mix.  AGRYLIN has a higher gross profit percentage as it is a
product the development of which was completed internally.  Included in cost of
sales is a $1.8 million charge for minimum royalties due to Ortho Pharmaceutical
Corporation for SUPPRELIN sales. Included in these changes is the impact of a 
change in accounting estimate.

                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>
 
Research and Development
- ------------------------

Research and Development expenses increased $0.7 million to $2.7 million and
$1.0 million to $1.8 million during the six and three month periods,
respectively, ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the comparable prior year
periods.  This increase is due to $0.5 million for new programs related to the
compounds purchased in 1996 and a $0.4 million increase in registration and user
fees.

Marketing and Administrative Expenses
- -------------------------------------

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, Marketing and Administrative expenses
decreased $0.6 million from $27.6 million to $27.0 million.  Marketing expenses
decreased $0.8 million.  Contributing factors were a decrease in salaries and
benefits of $0.4 million, a decrease in advertising of $0.7 million, and a
decrease in consulting costs of $1.3 million, offset by increases in samples of
$0.5 million, market research and coupons of $0.7 million, and AGRYLIN launch
expenses of $0.3 million.

Administrative expense increased $0.2 million from $10.9 million to $11.1
million.  This increase was due to a number of factors including an increase of
$0.4 million related to salaries and benefits, and a $0.2 million increase
related to outside services offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in legal and
accounting expenses.

For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, Marketing expenses remained constant at
$9.0 million.  Administrative expenses decreased $0.3 million from the second
quarter 1996 to $5.6 million in second quarter 1997. Included in the quarter and
year to date changes are the impact of changes in accounting estimate.

Interest Income and Expense
- ---------------------------

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased $1.9 million
as a result of an increase in invested marketable securities arising from the
common and preferred stock offerings in the third quarter of 1996.  Interest
expense for the same period decreased by $0.7 million as a result of a decrease
in long-term debt related to product acquisitions.

Income Taxes
- ------------

For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, income tax expense was
calculated using a normal statutory rate for continuing operations, except for
certain taxes related to foreign operations.

The Company has recorded net deferred tax assets of approximately $20.3 million.
Realization is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income to utilize
such items.  Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more
likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized; however,
these assets could be reduced at any time if estimates of future taxable income
are reduced.

                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Operating activities provided $3.5 million in cash.  The primary components of
cash provided by operating activities were a $0.3 million increase in accounts
receivable, net income of $2.9 million, which includes $3.6 million of
non-cash charges, and increased working capital requirements of $2.7 million.

Investing activities used $3.3 million, comprised primarily of $1.5 million in
marketable securities purchases and $1.4 million in collections of notes
receivable offset by asset purchases of $2.0 million.

Financing activities used $5.2 million, including $5.8 million of payments on
notes payable and payment of $1.2 million of preferred stock dividends paid
offset by proceeds from the issuance of Common and Preferred Stock of $1.8
million.

The Company will use its existing cash and securities balances and cash
generated from operations to fund its operating activities and its near-term and
long-term debt obligations from previous product acquisitions.  These balances
will also be used to fund future acquisitions of new products and the
development of existing pipeline products as well as the July 1997 purchase of
the manufacturing plant and capital improvements scheduled for that facility.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations
- -----------------------------

Roberts has subsidiary operations outside the United States.  As a result,
Roberts is subject to fluctuations in revenues and costs reported in United
States dollars as a consequence of changing currency exchange rates, especially
rates for the British pound and Canadian dollar.  Such fluctuations were not
material for the second quarter 1997.

Other
- -----

The Company has been pursuing a number of initiatives over the past year which
have contributed to the increase in earnings.  Some of these initiatives have
already resulted in increased sales and decreased expenses, while others are
still in the early phases.  Several of these key initiatives are outlined below.

PROAMATINE is undergoing Phase IV FDA clinical trials to eliminate certain
labeling restrictions on the drug.  These trials are aimed at establishing the
clear clinical benefits of PROAMATINE, which, if demonstrated, should result in
increased sales.  Additional trials of ProAmatine for other indications,
including urinary stress incontinence, are planned.

Roberts expects AGRYLIN to receive approval for sale in Canada in the third or
fourth quarter of 1997 and European approval is expected in mid-1998.  The
European market is expected to exceed that of the North American market for this
drug.

                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>
 
Several changes have been made in the sales force and overall marketing plan to
improve its efficiency.  Sales territories have been realigned and the sales
force has been automated, both with the aim of covering high prescribing
physicians with fewer salespeople.  This realignment resulted in lower sales
force expenses, as evidenced by the fact that marketing expenses decreased in
the six months ended June 30, 1997 over the six months ended June 30, 1996
despite the expenses incurred for the two new drug launches.

The Company also changed the strategic direction of EMINASE.  Formerly, Roberts
maintained a separate sales force for certain products including EMINASE.  That
sales force has been merged into the regular sales force and all sales reps have
received Eminase sales training.  This change is expected to increase the number
of sales calls and decrease the effect of turnover within the sales force.

In another strategic change, recognizing that managed health care has become a
dominant force in the marketplace, the Company has taken steps to penetrate this
portion of the market and is pursuing managed care contracts and is working to
increase the number of formularies on which its drugs are listed.

The Company intends to use television advertising as part of its promotional
efforts for its COLACE line of products.  Such efforts seem to have been
successful previously as sales of COLACE for the six months ended June 30, 1997
increased by $2.3 million over the comparable 1996 period.

The purchase of the manufacturing and packaging facility, completed in early
July 1997, is expected to improve the Company's profitability as production
costs should decrease by producing in house.  It is also projected that the
recurring problems of stock-outs and overstocks will be minimized by controlling
the production cycle.  OTC sales may also be improved by controlling the
production cycle due to the opportunity to process special packaging runs, such
as bonus packs of COLACE and PERI-COLACE.  It has not been feasible to produce
such special packaging utilizing outside production companies.

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

The Company previously reported in its Current Reports on Form 8K dated April
10, 1995 and June 26, 1995, respectively, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, that two shareholder class action suits had
been instituted against it and certain of its officers in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey.  The second suit filed by Dieter
Zander has been voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff.  The first complaint, as
amended, was filed by Grace Cowit on behalf of all persons who purchased shares
of the Company's Common Stock between November 7, 1994 and May 31, 1995.

          Reports on Form 8K

Date of Report

April 21, 1997      Roberts Pharmaceutical Corporation reported first quarter
                    1997 results with significant year-to-year improvements
                    recorded in revenues, gross profits, and net earnings.

May 22, 1997        Roberts Pharmaceutical Corporation announced today that Mr.
                    Joseph N. Noonburg and the Honorable Marilyn Lloyd have
                    joined its Board of Directors.

                    Mr. Noonburg, a self-employed consultant, has a 38 year
                    background in the pharmaceutical industry including serving
                    as Senior Vice President of Sales for the pharmaceutical
                    firm of Reed & Carnick.  Mr. Noonburg has also been actively
                    involved in several pharmaceutical industry associations.

                    Ms. Lloyd, a former Congresswoman from Tennessee's Third
                    Congressional District, is a consultant for Lockheed Martin
                    Corporation and the Spectrum Group, and serves on a number
                    of boards including Secretary Pena's Energy Advisory Board.
                    During her tenure as Congresswoman she championed many
                    initiatives promoting health care awareness for women and
                    chaired the Housing and Consumer Committee of the Committee
                    on Aging.

                    Mr. Noonburg and Ms. Lloyd now fill the two seats on the
                    Board of Directors previously held by Yamanouchi Group
                    Holding, Roberts largest shareholder.  Under the term of a
                    stock purchase agreement, Yamanouchi is now entitled to
                    designate only one member of the board for election.
                    Yamanouchi has noted it continued interest in Roberts future
                    and, while not designating a nominee to Roberts Board at
                    this time, retains the right to do so at a future date.

May 22, 1997        Roberts Pharmaceutical Corporation announced that effective
                    May 22, 1997, the Company's common stock will begin trading
                    on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX).  Roberts common stock
                    will trade on the AMEX under the symbol RPC.

                    The Company commented that the move from the dealer oriented
                    OTC market to the public auction market of AMEX is expected
                    to provide a trading environment for their common stock
                    which will be beneficial to their shareholders.  Among the
                    benefits expected

                    from a public auction market are a narrowing in the spread
                    between bid and ask prices; reduced volatility; enhanced
                    liquidity; and greater visibility.

July 9, 1997        Roberts Pharmaceutical announced that it has completed the
                    purchase of a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility from
                    Searle Canada, a unit of Monsanto Company.  In addition to
                    existing manufacturing and packaging operation, the 100,852
                    square foot facility includes warehouse, administrative, and
                    QC/QA laboratory space.  The facility, located in Oakville
                    Ontario, is approved by both the U.S. Food and Drug
                    Administration and the Health Protection Branch of Canada.

                    Roberts has historically outsourced all its manufacturing
                    and packaging functions.  Plans have been initiated to
                    effect transfer of production of certain over-the-counter
                    products from third party manufacturers to Oakville in the
                    second half of 1997.  This will be followed by a phase-in of
                    the Company's Canadian, U.K and U.S. prescription products.
                    Also, Searle has agreed to lease back space from Roberts for
                    a time and has agreed in principle for Roberts to fulfill
                    certain of Searle's packaging and clinical supply
                    requirements.

July 9, 1997        Roberts Pharmaceutical Corporation announced today that it
                    has submitted a Manufacturing Authorization Application
                    (MAA) for European approval of its new drug Agrylin (TM).
                    The application has been filed with the European Medicines
                    Evaluation Agency (EMEA) in accordance with the centralized
                    procedure for approval of new drugs within the 15-country
                    European Union (EU).

                    The EU regulatory authorities have accepted Agrylin (TM) as
                    a "List B" product, a category given to products considered
                    to represent new drug treatments or important therapeutic
                    advances.  Under European centralized procedure, a
                    successful MAA grants product approval through the EU, a
                    market potential for Agrylin (TM) that could significantly
                    exceeds that of North America.
